Infant Mortality Statistics

30 January 2018

The Infant Mortality dataview on Northamptonshire Analysis has now been updated with the 2016 statistics at District level and above.

Northamptonshire records above England average mortality rates for infants (under one year) and in the neonatal (under 4 weeks) and perinatal (under one week and still births) categories. However, all three mortality rates have decreased compared to the previous year. Of particular note are the 2015 and 2016 perinatal mortality rates in East Northamptonshire and Wellingborough.

Please note, these rates cover small actual numbers and, therefore, are subject to annual variations. Please look at the timeseries graphs for a clearer longterm picture.
